Which came first?

A large study of men from Southern California found a correlation between men who are taking more medications, and men with an increased risk of erectile disfunction. Medical reporter Helen Branswell points out that this poses an interesting chicken/egg problem: Does taking lots of medications cause ED? Or do guys with ED have lots of underlying issues that require medication? Nobody knows yet.

I never had ED until I started boozing it up and taking amphetamines. Actually, it wasn’t until I discovered my girlfriend was cheating on me, but most drugs seem to make things worse. Sustained amphetamine use in particular makes it nearly impossible to get an erection unless she is explicitly enthusiastic or I’ve taken a solid dose of a vasodilator and/or PDE5 inhibitor. It’s a depraved new world!

Where does Maggie get off shoving these things down our throats? It’s a limp thrust towards pornographic populism! We must punch these monkeys until they retract such pendulous bollocks. (added:this was funnier with the troll in the room)
